Fiddle Intro: (A lively, warm fiddle tune carries across the foggy harbour, setting the tone for the song) Verse 1: There's a fog on the water, but the fire’s always bright In the homes of the island, come in for the night With a cup of hot tea and a story to spin You’ll find open hearts and a welcome within Chorus: The great thing about Newfoundlanders, you’ll see Is a kindness that flows like the salt of the sea From the rock to the harbour, through joy and through tears We stand by each other, year after year Verse 2: In the wind and the waves, when the hard times roll in We hold tight together, through thick and through thin With a laugh in the storm and a song in the gale We’re stronger than sorrow, we refuse to fail Chorus: The great thing about Newfoundlanders, you’ll see Is a kindness that flows like the salt of the sea From the rock to the harbour, through joy and through tears We stand by each other, year after year Fiddle Solo: (The fiddle dances through a beautiful solo, weaving in the soul of the song, lifting spirits like a breath of ocean air) Bridge: From the hills to the bays, from the fish to the fields We know every wound that a good heart can heal With a hand on your shoulder, or a word soft and true In this place by the ocean, we’ll always pull through Chorus: The great thing about Newfoundlanders, you’ll see Is a kindness that flows like the salt of the sea From the rock to the harbour, through joy and through tears We stand by each other, year after year Outro (Fiddle joins in again): So if you’re ever lost, or you're far from your home Come find us, you’ll never be alone In the heart of a Newfoundlander, you’ll find A friend, a companion, for all of your time (The fiddle fades out gently, like the sound of the sea on a quiet evening)
